Участник:'A Wonderful Bunt Show'
Following the 15th, Doosan won six consecutive games against Gwangju KIA on the 17th. Since the middle of the season, KIA has recently won nine consecutive games by upgrading its lineup with a combination of mobility, clutch ability and long-range power, but it seems to have been defeated by Park Chan-ho's injury. Choi Won-joon also suffered from sluggish batting and often failed to operate normally.
KIA gained momentum with Choi Won-joon's third base, including two hits, in the second batting order, but Kim Do-young, who actually took the leadoff, was tied with no hits in five at-bats. Park Chan-ho has been closed since the Daegu Samsung match on the 12th. After nine consecutive wins, the cycle of the batters naturally came down while they slowed down to three wins and six losses, including four consecutive losses.
In the meantime, Doosan introduced foot baseball and bunt shows with bunt. It was a game where Doosan's traditional and old unique colors stood out. No. 9 Cho Soo-haeng (30) and No. 1 Jung Soo-bin (33) virtually made fun of KIA infielders with bunt that shook the game flow.
It was a 1-1 tie in the top of the third inning. In the absence of a runner with one out, Cho Soo-haeng exquisitely made a surprise bunt toward third base on KIA starter Thomas Panoni's. KIA third baseman Byun Woo-hyuk noticed and caught the forward dash, but Cho Soo-haeng made a head first sliding to first base, leading to a safe.
Byun Woo-hyuk also handled it well. However, after two outs, he failed to catch Kim Jae-ho's ball and dropped him into the outfield. Mistake. After that, Yang Seok-hwan's winning hit came out. Cho Soo-haeng's one bunt hit shook the flow of the game with KIA infielders.
Doosan's bunt show continued in the fifth inning with a 3-1 lead. Park Joon-young's solo shot continued the good flow, and Cho Soo-haeng hit a hit. Here, Jung Soo-bin made an exquisite bunt on the first base line. Panoni and catcher Han Joon-soo rushed at the same time, and Panoni could have caught it, but Han Jun-soo caught the ball. But he couldn't even throw it to first base. Under the circumstances, Han Joon-soo shouted for a call, but as a result, Jung Soo-bin laughed.
In the end, Doosan took the lead 5-1 with Kim Jae-ho's sacrifice bunt and Yang Seok-hwan's two-run timely hit at first and second bases with no outs. Since then, KIA has chased with Na Sung-bum's two-run shot, but it was thanks to two bunt that the overall flow of the game was able to be maintained by Doosan.
KIA Tigers' shortstop Kim Do-young made a catch error on Park Joon-young's hit in the sixth inning, and Kim Dae-yu easily caught Jung Soo-bin's missed hit in the seventh inning but threw a bad pitch to first base. It was blocked by Doosan ace Raul Alcantara and couldn't connect to the batting line, but it was difficult to win with three errors.
Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop said, "The batters played evenly and showed a well-organized performance. I can feel that all the players are working together. "With every game important, I will do my best to show my fans the best I have now," he said.
